70 years of experience in the production of die casting machines
Since founded in 1946 by Adamo Pasotti, IDRA has always been the technological reference point for the die casting of non ferrous alloys in Italy, in Europe and worldwide.
During all the long life of IDRA’s activities, passion, competence and ongoing research are the elements that have marked the innovative solutions, with high reliability and high quality in every production phase.
Reliability, sturdiness, innovative technology and ease of use and maintenance of all products are the result of the IDRA technicians’ work, characterized by a strong human factor. Starting from the casting of aluminum alloys, up to those of zinc, magnesium and brass, IDRA has demonstrated the value of their know-how through a long process of growth punctuated by important goals, as evidenced by the numerous machines still in operation around the world for over 50 years.
Many successes ready to witness and tell the long journey of a brand imprinted in the heart of the die casting world.
In 2008 IDRA was strategically acquired by LK Technology Holding Ltd, a multinational company able to position itself as a world leader through multiple holdings, of which the most important is L.K. Machinery.
